James Shea b1865 Saint Luke, Middlesex ?

That would make him 32 or 31 depending on birthday which hasn't been found/confirmed yet?
But I guess maybe the dates/age are not 100% correct.

William born 1892, son of Denis and Mary, died 1892:

5822/1892 SHEA William parents DENNIS and MARY GRAFTON

You can cross off the Shea-Middlemis marriage for Mary, 2nd last column:

I cannot find anything on Mary Agnes and Carl Rauch and have run out of ideas. Finding them on an electoral roll would be nice, but I don't have paid subscriptions. They had a son born 1912, Raymond C E Rauch ( I think middle names may be Carl Edward, after his father and grandfather), who married Athaline Nelson in 1934. I can't find anything on them either. This Raymond is not to be confused with Raymond G M Rauch down Nowra way.

Also, James S born 1885 to Denis and Mary has eluded me.

This is amazing... Thank you

So it looks like they changed their name from RAUCH to RANCH.. As why would there be so many RAUCH's to start with.

2nd marriage: 16383/1952 RANCH John to RANCH Kathleen Frances SYDNEY

Look at the marriage year. Same year as Mary's death. Wonder if Kathleen being a RANCH is due to her using the name if they had been living together.
